Cedric

It is the night of the shooting stars. Cedric, despite all his efforts to avoid it, is due to spend the weekend camping with the 'Brave Kangaroos' scout troop. Robert and Marie-Rose have taken the opportunity to make a romantic trip and Grandpa' has decided to invite his friend Auguste to keep him company.

Grandpa' thinks he's won the big prize on the Eurobillions lottery. Unfortunately he's lost the ticket. Cedric thinks his grandfather is getting a bit confused and has thrown the ticket in the rubbish instead of putting it away safely as Cedric had suggested.

Today's the day! Cedric has decided to declare his undying love for Chen. And what could be more romantic than a little outing in a canoe, the setting should be perfect.

The children in Cedric's class have to do a presentation and for Cedric it is the ideal opportunity to share a project with Chen. However, the two kids argue and the only thing they end up sharing is their punishment. But that's better than nothing.

Nicholas may be showing off with his new mobile telephone but Cedric has the last laugh when Chen learns that he cannot telephone China. That, however, is a problem that Nicholas will soon solve.

Christian reads in a magazine that "Today's girls prefer boyfriends who accept their feminine side". This gives Cedric an idea. When Chen is around, he suddenly finds everything 'pretty' (a dress, the sky, flowers). He even joins the little girl to watch the birth of a butterfly.

It is the Chinese lantern festival and Chen has invited all her friends to the park at sunset. In order to impress the little girl, Cedric decides to do the Chinese lion dance with Christian.

Cedric realises that Christian's sister and her boyfriend are never closer than when they make up after a quarrel. This gives him an idea, he'll pick a fight with Chen. The best way to do this is to invite his terrible cousin, Yeti (Yolande). The two girls are totally allergic to each other and a quarrel is certain. Then all he has to do is make up with Chen. Well, that's the plan anyway

Today starts really well for Cedric. He's going to the fair with Christian and, for once, he's got good marks at school and so has all his spending money.

An older boy, Kevin, sets up stupid practical jokes and films them. He then posts the films on the school's blog. His problems really start when Chen is the butt of one of his pranks. Cedric and Nicholas join forces to find out who is behind the films and get their revenge.

Only one day to go before the Christmas holidays, great! Well, it would have been if Mr Olivier hadn't organised a skating trip. Not only does Cedric not like skating but Chen will not even be there as her aunt is arriving from China.

It's taste and flavour day at school. Cedric has got the (mistaken) idea that Chen is the world's worst cook and wants to make sure that she is not embarrassed by her results. But Chen is not at all as bad as he thinks and is not at all happy that Cedric could have doubted her culinary talents – even if it was for her own good.

Only one day to go before the Christmas holidays, great! Well, it would have been if Mr Olivier hadn't organised a skating trip. Not only does Cedric not like skating but Chen will not even be there as her aunt is arriving from China.

As a test run for their forthcoming camping holidays, Cedric persuades his parents to let him spend the night in a tent in the garden with Chen. Cedric borrows Christian's tent but Christian thinks he is invited too – and invites Caprice.

Nicholas brings his latest possession to school, a digital movie camera. Miss Nelly seizes the opportunity to shoot a short film with the children of her class and enter it for a local competition.

Cedric feels that Chen has lost interest in him. Manu explains that familiarity kills romance. Chen does not even notice him anymore, Cedric has to surprise and astonish her. OK, but how? Cedric calls on his terrible cousin, Yeti, self-proclaimed fashion expert and new look consultant. She takes Cedric's appearance in hand, with disastrous results.

Cedric and Chen find a cute little lost dog Knowing that neither of their parents want an animal in the house, they decide to hide the dog in Cedric's bedroom. It's not long before Mary-Rose and Robert find out and the ultimatum is, find a home for the dog or he goes to the pound.

Cedric is stunned. Manu has actually seen (and not on TV for once) Chen kissing another boy. This betrayal leads Cedric to 'redesign' a photo of Chen: horns, blacked out teeth, eye-patch etc.

Cedric invents a fabulous holiday to rival with that of Nicholas. This 'big lie' leads him straight to the school psychologist, with hilarious results.

Chen's neighbours have moved out. Cedric decides to convince his parents that 1, their house is no longer suitable; 2, the one next to Chen's is ideal. The plans he concocts with Christian (fake termites, real cockroaches etc) work perfectly.

Cedric has just learnt that we all inherit genes. But will Chen fall for him if he grows up to be like the other strong personalities present in his family? Cedric decides to change character and become much more pleasant. This is not made easy by his group of friends who push his new good nature to its limits, a limit reached when he manages to fall out with Chen.

Cedric and his family pay Poppy a fabulous trip on the Arctic Express train in Sweden. However, Poppy is scared of flying and secretly gives his ticket to a friend while he goes and hides out at his sister, Jeanne's house.

Mary-Rose and Robert decide that Cedric needs a bit of extra teaching. Poppy and Cedric (of course) are against the idea. Cedric's parents hire the terrible Mrs.Binoche, retired teacher, to give some extra tuition.

Babies! First they stop Cedric declaring his love for Chen – admittedly she was babysitting at the time. Secondly they nearly make him fall out with Poppy

Cedric's dream of joining the same poney club as Chen becomes reality the day that Mary-Rose passes her driving test. Now she can drive him to and from the club. Poppy has a few errands for Mary-Rose as well.
